Body Below

There's a story I could tell

When the cold wind starts to blow

Like a whisper in the night

From a friend that you know

It says

"Keep holding on to my body below

Forsake me not

Don't ever leave me alone"

There was a time when the sun

Gave its life to the trees

And the air it smelled sweeter

For the honey and the bees

The ocean rolled salty

And wild and free

The fruit swelled and ripened

And burst with their seeds

But what starts with

Desire can turn into need

The chest gets all tight

Like it's got some disease

What burns in the fire

Just ends up as coals

What floats on the water

Can sink like a stone

Now I want to believe

Every word that you say

I want you to need me to not go away

Have trust in the nighttime

And faith in the day

To walk on the water

Be never afraid

Can you bear it upon you

My love has gone under

Above all the stars have

Forgotten to glow

But if you keep holding

On to my body below you

I'll warm you and keep

You from feeling alone

Warm you and keep you from feeling alone

Warm you and keep you from feeling alone

Warm you and keep you from feeling alone

Warm you and keep you from feeling alone

Warm you and keep you from feeling alone
